Minocycline-induced lupus.

Antibiotics are indicated for inappropriately prolonged durations not only for infectious diseases but also for non-infectious dermatologic conditions such as acne vulgaris, but inappropriate use is not uncommon. Inappropriate antibiotic prescription can contribute to the emergence of multidrug-resistant organisms, patient harm such as adverse drug events and increased healthcare costs. We experienced a case involving a late adolescent with acne vulgaris who had been treated with minocycline for more than 2 years, leading to the development of drug-induced lupus, attributed to minocycline.

A Case of Minocycline-induced Linear Morphea Reactivation.

J Clin Aesthet Dermatol

February 2021

Drs. Pettit and Mosser-Goldfarb are with the Division of Dermatology, Department of Internal Medicine, The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center in Columbus, Ohio.

Morphea is a localized form of scleroderma that presents with dermal thickening and fibrotic plaques in the absence of internal organ involvement. Like many autoimmune conditions, these plaques have many different phases, starting out as active, red plaques before later burning out, leaving white, fibrotic plaques behind. Many drugs have been shown to induce morphea, including bleomycin and bromocriptine.
